DICHIARAZIONE DI CONFORMITA’

Si dichiara che l’apparecchio MCM275 Philips risponde alle prescrizioni dell’ar t. 2 comma 1 del D.M. 28 Agosto 1995 n. 548.

Fatto a Eindhoven

2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 3 Amp,

A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

3 Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 3 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 3 Amp.

Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).

¶ As these colours may not correspond with the

colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: – Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black. – Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red. – Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and yellow).

Observer: Nettbryteren er sekundert innkoplet. Den innebygde netdelen er derfor ikke frakoplet nettet så lenge apparatet er tilsluttet nettkontakten.

For å redusere faren for brann eller elektrisk støt, skal apparatet ikke utsettes for regn eller fuktighet.

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

Advarsel: Usynlig laserstråling ved åbning når sikkerhedsafbrydere er ude af funktion. Undgå utsættelse for stråling.

Bemærk: Netafbryderen er sekundært indkoblet og ofbryder ikke strømmen fra nettet. Den indbyggede netdel er derfor tilsluttet til lysnettet så længe netstikket sidder i stikkontakten.

Klass 1 laseraparat Varning! Om apparaten används på annat sätt än i denna bruksanvisning specificerats, kan användaren utsättas för osynlig laserstrålning, som överskrider gränsen för laserklass 1.

Observera! Stömbrytaren är sekundärt kopplad och bryter inte strömmen från nätet. Den inbyggda nätdelen är därför ansluten till elnätet så länge stickproppen sitter i vägguttaget.

Luokan 1 laserlaite

Varoitus! Laitteen käyttäminen muulla kuin tässä käyttöohjeessa mainitulla tavalla saattaa altistaa käyttäjän turvallisuusluokan 1 ylittävälle näkymättömälle lasersäteilylle.

Oikeus muutoksiin varataan. Laite ei saa olla alttiina tippu-ja roiskevedelle.

Huom. Toiminnanvalitsin on kytketty toisiopuolelle, eikä se kytke laitetta irti sähköverkosta. Sisäänrakennettu verkkoosa on kytkettynä sähköverkkoon aina silloin, kun pistoke on pistorasiassa.

Environmental Information

All unnecessary packaging has been omitted. We have tried to make the packaging easy to separate into three materials: cardboard (box), polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags, protective foam sheet).

Your system consists of materials which can be recycled and reused if disassembled by a specialized company. Please observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of packaging materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.

Disposal of your old product

Your product is designed and manufactured with high quality materials and components, which can be recycled and reused.

When this crossedout wheeled bin symbol is attached to a product it means the product is covered by the European Directive 2002/96/EC

Safety Information

● Place the system on a flat, hard and stable

surface.

● Place the system in a location with adequate

ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in your system. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance from the rear and the top of the unit and 5 cm (2 inches) from each side.

● The ventilation should not be impeded by

covering the ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc.

● Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to

excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.

● No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,

should be placed on the apparatus.

● No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall

be placed on the apparatus.

● If the system is brought directly from a cold to a

warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens of the disc unit inside the system. Should this occur, the CD player would not operate normally. Leave the power on for about one hour with no disc in the system until normal playback is possible.

● The mechanical par ts of the set contain self-

lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or lubricated.

● When the system is switched to Standby

mode, it is still consuming some power. To disconnect the system from the power supply completely, remove the AC power plug from the wall socket.

English

Please inform yourself about the local separate collection system for electrical and electronic products.

Please act according to your local rules and do not dispose of your old products with your normal household waste. The correct disposal of your old product will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health.

– USB flash memory (USB 2.0 or USB1.1) – USB flash players (USB 2.0 or USB1.1) – memory cards (requires an additional card reader to work with this Hi-Fi system)

Note:

– In some USB flash players (or memory devices), the stored contents are recorded using copyright protection technology. Such protected contents will be unplayable on any other devices (such as this Hi-Fi system).

Supported formats:

– USB or memory file format FAT12, FAT16, FAT32 (sector size: 512 - 65,536 bytes) – MP3 bit rate (data rate): 32-320 Kbps and

variable bit rate – WMA v9 or earlier – Directory nesting up to a maximum of 8

levels – Number of albums/ folders: maximum 99 – Number of tracks/titles: maximum 999 – ID3 tag v2.0 or later – File name in Uicode UTF8 (maximum length: 128 bytes)

The system will not play or support the following:

•Empty albums: an empty album is an album that does not contain MP3/WMA files, and will not be shown in the display.

• Non-supported file formats are skipped. This means that e.g.: Word documents .doc or MP3 files with extension .dlf are ignored and will not be played.

•AAC , WAV, PCM audio files

• DRM protected WMA files

• WMA files in Lossless format

For the flash player, you can also use its music management software for the music transfer.

However, those WMA files may be unplayable for compatibility reasons.

How to organize your MP3/WMA files on the USB mass storage device

This Hi-Fi system will browse the MP3/WMA files in the folders/sub-folders/titles order. Example: Root
